Description The present research was taken up to study the "Status of insecticide residues and
impact of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)". The field studies were conducted to
monitor the insecticide residues on food crops (rice, maize, pigeonpea), cotton, vegetables,
soil and water and to know the impact of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in reducing
insecticide residues. The laboratory experiments were conducted in Pesticide Residue
Laboratory at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics
(ICRISAT), Patancheru, India. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) was undertaken in
Kothapally watershed (IPM village) and Enkepally (non-IPM village).
Among the food crops and cotton analysed for presence of insecticide residues
(monocrotophos, chlorpyriphos, alpha endosulfan, beta endosulfan and cypermethrin), one
rice grain sample (0.5 pg g-') out of 5 samples collected from Kothapally was contaminated
and among the soil samples, residues were detected in one soil sample (0.02 pg g'') collected
from maize field during 2008 in Enkepally. Only two samples were contaminated -- one rice
grain sample (0.008 pg g-I) and one soil sample (0.03 pg g") collected from rice field during
2009 from Enkepally....
